  • The Creation of Neuroscience
    The Creation of Neuroscience The Society for Neuroscience and the Quest for Disciplinary Unity 1969-1995 Introduction rom the molecular biology of a single neuron to the breathtakingly complex circuitry of the entire human nervous system, our understanding of the brain and how it works has undergone radical F changes over the past century. These advances have brought us tantalizingly closer to genu- inely mechanistic and scientifically rigorous explanations of how the brain’s roughly 100 billion neurons, interacting through trillions of synaptic connections, function both as single units and as larger ensem- bles. The professional field of neuroscience, in keeping pace with these important scientific develop- ments, has dramatically reshaped the organization of biological sciences across the globe over the last 50 years. Much like physics during its dominant era in the 1950s and 1960s, neuroscience has become the leading scientific discipline with regard to funding, numbers of scientists, and numbers of trainees. Furthermore, neuroscience as fact, explanation, and myth has just as dramatically redrawn our cultural landscape and redefined how Western popular culture understands who we are as individuals. In the 1950s, especially in the United States, Freud and his successors stood at the center of all cultural expla- nations for psychological suffering. In the new millennium, we perceive such suffering as erupting no longer from a repressed unconscious but, instead, from a pathophysiology rooted in and caused by brain abnormalities and dysfunctions. Indeed, the normal as well as the pathological have become thoroughly neurobiological in the last several decades. In the process, entirely new vistas have opened up in fields ranging from neuroeconomics and neurophilosophy to consumer products, as exemplified by an entire line of soft drinks advertised as offering “neuro” benefits.

    Garson, J. (2015) “The Birth of Information in the Brain: Edgar Adrian and the Vacuum Tube,” Science in Context 28: 31-52. Preprint (not copyedited or formatted) Please use DOI when citing or quoting: https://doi- org.proxy.wexler.hunter.cuny.edu/10.1017/S0269889714000313 The Birth of Information in the Brain: Edgar Adrian and the Vacuum Tube Word Count: 10, 418 Abstract: As historian Henning Schmidgen notes, the scientific study of the nervous system would have been ‘unthinkable’ without the industrialization of communication in the 1830s. Historians have investigated extensively the way nerve physiologists have borrowed concepts and tools from the field of communications, particularly regarding the nineteenth-century work of figures like Helmholtz and in the American Cold War Era. The following focuses specifically on the interwar research of the Cambridge physiologist Edgar Douglas Adrian, and on the technology that led to his Nobel-Prize- winning research, the thermionic vacuum tube. Many countries used the vacuum tube during the war for the purpose of amplifying and intercepting coded messages. These events provided a context for Adrian’s evolving understanding of the nerve fiber in the 1920s. In particular, they provide the background for Adrian’s transition around 1926 to describing the nerve impulse in terms of “information,” “messages,” “signals,” or even “codes,” and for translating the basic principles of the nerve, such as the all-or-none principle and adaptation, into such an “informational” context. The following also places Adrian’s research in the broader context of the changing relationship between science and technology, and between physics and physiology, in the first few decades of the twentieth century.

  • Peter Mansfield
    SNAP-SHOT MRI Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2003 by Peter Mansfield Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, U.K. INTRODUCTION The topic of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) started for us at Nottingham in the early summer of 1972. During a discussion with one of my graduate stu- dents, Peter Grannell and my post-doc Dr Allan Garroway, concerning mul- tiple-pulse line narrowing experiments in solids, the idea occurred to me to use the line narrowing technique as a means of effectively removing dipolar interactions in a material like CaF2 and at the same time impose an external linear gradient on the sample thus broadening the line shape to reveal the atomic or molecular structure within the sample. It soon became apparent, however, even with the achievable narrowed line- widths of around 1 Hz for CaF2, corresponding to a line width reduction of 3 ϫ 104, that the residual line width was still too broad using practical external gradients to resolve the atomic structure in a single crystal of CaF2. Despite this setback, work continued with artificial one-dimensional lattices made up of several thin plates of camphor. Peter Grannell and I continued this work during the course of 1972 and it resulted finally in a paper presented at the First Specialized Colloque Ampère, Krakow in 1973 (1). Formal publication appeared shortly after (2). These papers emphasized the Fourier transform approach used, even though the images of the camphor stacks were one-dimensional. It was clear that we had made our task much more difficult by choosing to work with solids.

    MIDLANDS ENGINE HEALTH Focus on MedTech Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre The Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre (SPMIC) was formed in 2015 with an award of £7.7 million funding from the MRC Clinical Research Capabilities & Technologies Initiative and £1.7 million of matched University of Nottingham funding. The vision has been to create a centre that will drive the development and exploitation of medical imaging in experimental medicine and translational medicine, based on our international leadership in physics development and clinical imaging. The SPMIC combines strengths in physics and medicine to provide a single platform for medical imaging activity in Nottingham, serving more than 100 academic and research staff. The Centre builds on the University of Nottingham’s unique track record of research in biomedical imaging stretching back to Sir Peter Mansfield’s pioneering work in developing MRI in the 1970s, for which he was Professor Richard Bowtell, Head of The Sir Peter awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine Mansfield Imaging Centre in 2003.
